Is It A Resentment OR Is It Trauma? (The Daily Trudge)

In recovery, not every emotional reaction is a resentment — and not every painful memory is “just trauma.” But we mix the two up all the time.

A resentment is usually about anger, ego, expectations, and old wounds we keep feeding.
Trauma is about deep emotional injury that shaped our nervous system, beliefs, and reactions.

One needs inventory.
The other needs healing.

Today we talk about how to tell the difference, how each one affects our recovery, and why mislabeling trauma as a resentment can actually do more harm than good.

We’ll dig into:
• What resentment really is in AA terms
• What trauma looks like in the body and mind
• When inventory helps — and when it doesn’t
• How trauma-informed recovery keeps us safe
• Why both require honesty, humility, and God

Not everything that hurts is a resentment.
Not everything that angers us is trauma.

This is about clarity — and freedom.
